Application development framework
Project description
Application development framework.
Project Goals
Strong security by default.
Focus on being developer-oriented.
Promote funcional pythonic style.
Promote continuous testing+profiling.
Why Fanery
Fanery is an opinionated development framework build around a few simple concepts:
Strong cryptography must be transparent and enabled by default.
Encryption must not rely on cryptographic keys generated client side.
Encryption must only rely on unbroken high-quality ciphers/algorithms/implementations.
Session security must not rely on SessionIDs, bizare URLs, secure cookies, secret tokens, magic keys or any other piece of information that can be guessed or stolen during transmission.
Capture and re-transmission of encrypted messages must be pointless.
The framework must protect transparently against brute-force and authenticated sessions abuse.
The framework must handle transparently input serialization to harmless/built-in only object types.
The framework must not depend on strict/pre-defined configuration style/format and/or directory structure.
The framework must not tie to a particular storage or UI technology.
The framework must provide the facilities for easy testing, debugging and profiling.
The framework must not rely on components that inhibit elastic/horizontal scalability.
A lot of discussions happens around JavaScript Cryptography Considered Harmfull so a bit of clarification is needed to understand why and how Fanery use it:
HTTPS cannot be replaced by JavaScript Cryptography, however SSL/TLS is no help against the majority of common attacks, that’s why Fanery use “scrypt + NaCl + One-Time Pad” (both server and client side) together with SSL to achieve protection against many of those threats.
Install
First make sure to install successfully the following C libraries:
pip install PyNaCl pip install cxor pip install ujson pip install scrypt pip install bsdiff4 pip install ciso8601 pip install python-libuuid pip install msgpack-python
Then install Fanery and run test files:
pip install Fanery python tests/test_service.py
The following libraries offer great help during debug, profiling and testing:
pip install ipdb pip install xtraceback pip install profilehooks pip install line-profiler pip install memory-profiler pip install linesman objgraph pip install multi-mechanize
